My theme for the year was cityscapes. Much of my inspiration came from films such as Vertigo, Collateral and The French Connection. I found that these films incorporated cities as characters, not just as locations. The Bolte Bridge photo was taken from just outside the Telstra Dome. The lights on the bridge create a futuristic look, emitting a blue glow in the night sky, and the mirror-like reflections intensify the atmosphere in the shot.
